Remember when Carl came to Seedway, when it was still known as Robson Seed Farms and Robson Quality Seeds--the retail outlet which he headed up. Pretty well liked by all there, he helped this small seed company, the place known for developing Zuchinni Summer Squash, and esp. the Seneca line of many varieties of both sweet and field corn. He was also known in the poultry field with employment near Ithaca when he transferred to the Robson family seed business. A great business man. Martin Brasted--former employee of Robsons.

We just heard about Carl's death. Carol and I both thought that Carl was one of the smartest and kindest gentlemen on earth. What joy he brought to all our lives will never be forgotten. Treat him well my Lord, he deserves it. Dan and Carol Mossien
